Kenechukwu Obi’s ‘Honey Gone Thorny’ takes the traditional romance novel, rips it to shreds, and spits out a genre-pending saga that proves love really can hurt. Following the life of a passionate writer, his ex-wife and new lover, readers should expect everything from palm-sweating romance to disturbing scenes of death. It’s no wonder critics have hailed the volume “captivating and engaging”.

For Immediate Release

Regina, SK – While nobody will deny the romance genre’s timeless popularity, both readers and critics are currently crying out for wholly-unique new narratives that don’t succumb to recycling of the ‘same-old’ concepts. Thankfully, Canada’s Kenechukwu Obi is stepping up to the plate with gusto.
‘Honey Gone Thorny’ throws readers into a love triangle where nothing is impossible, including death. It’s a far cry from the traditionally bittersweet romance novel, yet Obi is a writer who doesn’t conform to convention.
Synopsis:
Beck Blades is a very talented American writer so obsessed with having big Hollywood studios make movies based on his fiction stories. But he soon learns that is no easy thing to accomplish. Beck later succeeds in having his eleventh fiction story published. Success follows. And then, his past starts to show up and haunt with no mercy.

“This is a fast-paced story that is extremely relevant to modern society, and will keep readers on tenterhooks as they are thrust through twists, turns and brushes with mortality”, explains Obi, a prolific writer. “I wanted to create something that retained all of the hallmarks of romantic fiction that the global readership has grown to love, while being unique and suspenseful enough to stand head and shoulders above the competition.”
Continuing, “And it appears to have worked! I’ve got five-star reviews flooding in from around the globe, with some readers hailing it as the best novel they have read in a long time.”
Obi isn’t exaggerating. For example, Lynne comments, “The struggle for fame and fortune is a story we’re all familiar with, but it’s handled in such a fresh and entertaining way by the author in Honey Gone Thorny. Central character Beck is believable and identifiable so that I found myself really rooting for him early on in the book and wanting him to do well. Although the ups and downs he goes through in his pursuit make for a very enjoyable read. The plot is captivating and there are enough twists and turns to keep you guessing right till the end. Loved it.”
TFLReader adds, “Trying to get a screenplay published is no small thing as Beck Blades discovers in this wonderful book by Kenechekwu Obi. It’s the first I’ve read from the author but found his writing style both captivating and engaging. With the market so flooded with independently published titles these days it can be hard to pick out the real quality, but this is one you don’t want to miss out on. Heartfelt, warm and funny, I found this to be a real treasure.”
